A fit Federici would surely have been in the Forest line-up against Sheffield Wednesday when they returned to action in the Championship on Saturday, but, without him, it was Smith who kept his place in the 3-1 defeat at Hillsborough and Henderson was on the subs’ bench.

And, unfortunately for the kid, he made a mistake for the first goal, passing the ball straight to one of the Sheffield Wednesday players who teed up Gary Hooper to score.

It’s not the first time his distribution has been poor, he did exactly the same thing in the first match of the season against Millwall, but got away with it.

When it comes to zonal or man marking at set-pieces, I prefer zonal marking.

We used to have John McGovern on the front post, me in the middle of the six-yard box and big Larry Lloyd on the back post, and if the ball came into your zone you won it, plain and simple.

There can be problems with it, like we saw with Fletcher getting in between two defenders to score on Saturday, but if you nail zonal marking it’s better than man marking.

Some people think it’s easier to man mark because you’re given somebody to pick up and you stick with him, but if you get blocked off he’s suddenly free in front of goal and you’re struggling.

So I think Forest should persevere with zonal marking. It’s easy to see a goal like Fletcher’s on Saturday and have a knee-jerk reaction, saying they should change the way they defend.

But I don’t think that’s the way to go. It’s obvious teams see Forest are a little bit vulnerable at the back, but if they can get zonal marking right, if everyone is on the same page with it, it’s the best way to defend.

Choosing who should be in goal is a little bit more difficult to judge, however.
